Community Service Projects
The CTES PTA and SCA are both sponsoring community service projects this month. First up, we have the SCA's 2nd Annual Turkey Court. There are boxes set up in each classroom for your child to donate canned goods (no glass please). Each can that is collected equals one vote for that teacher. You can donate to any teacher you'd like including resource teachers. At each grade level, the teacher with the most "votes" will win a place on the Turkey Court! During the school assembly on Wednesday, November 23, one teacher's name will be randomly selected in a drawing to be named Turkey King or Queen and one to be Prince or Princess. Canned good collection runs through the 21st. Last year we collected over 2,300 cans; so we are also in need of boxes to store cans. Please help your child support this worthy cause.
The PTA is partnering with Puritan Cleaners and the Salvation Army in their annual Coats For Kids Drive. There will be a collection box set up in the front hall the week of November 14 to collect your gently used coats in any sizes, but especially kids coats. Let's help keep our fellow RIchmonders warm!
